to override the unneeded dependency on libc6-i386, a package for providing 32-bit support for libc6 on a 64-bit installation. From the commandline, I then issued

R CMD INSTALL BRugs_0.7.1.tar.gz

It compiled and installed cleanly. Starting R, I issued

windows <- x11

to remap the output and then ran a couple of your scripts for testing:

source("TutorialBRugsTest.R")

ran perfectly;

source("ANOVAtwowayBRugsSTZ.R")

generated some errors due to a couple of restatements of windows() in the script -- these appear to be unnecessary and can be removed, or one can add the "windows <- x11" remapping after each occurrence. A global replace also fixes the problem:

sed -i -r 's/windows/x11/' *R

A residual error is generated by savePlot's type="eps" (output to file):

Error in match.arg(type) :
'arg' should be one of “png”, “jpeg”, “tiff”, “bmp”

I'm guessing this is because my setup doesn't support eps output by default, but haven't investigated further. A quick fix is to replace with type jpg or png -- something like this should be safe:

I very much appreciate all the work you've done with Bayesian data analysis and will spend some time learning the methods you have developed.

Best wishes,

P.S. In the medium to long run, you may want to look into switching from OpenBUGS to JAGS (and from BRugs to rjags). OpenBUGS is written in Component Pascal, a dead language with no debugging support, while JAGS is written in standard C++ and is deservedly getting the lion's share of developer energy.
